The Magic Flute.
I love the silliness of its plot. Underpinnings of wicked humor and mischievousness abound for some to revel in. It even features the Masons plus a touch of seriousness about the nature of loyalty.
And what heavenly wonderful music!

I like the music from Carmen. Other than that, I hate opera.
And, Samejame: Yes, I like to watch Opera too sometimes! :p

Yes, love opera, especially Germanic. I often buy CD's from the BMG Classics club and recently bought 2 of the Philips "50 Great Recordings", one being the Hans Knappertsbusch 1962 live Bayreuth recording of Parsifal (what a great singer Hans Hotter was!), and the other being Karl Bohm's 1967 Bayreuth recording of Die Walkure. Have spent many hours on the weekends listening to both on my computer as I peruse Piano World postings!

I really enjoy good singing and opera is (hopefully) chock full of it! My taste for opera changes with my mood. I agree Mozart wrote some of the greatest - but about this time of night, with a glass of merlot, "verismo" is the thing. Viva La Verdi!

I don't have a favorite one, since listening to it in a cd or tv is half way to be sleeping lol I only see it during the summer when the conservatory brings it to the city

Even though it's one of the most performed operas in North America, I still absolutely adore La Boheme.

Probably "La Traviata", but I like them all.
